Oh, that's classic...

...Listening to the Mandatory Metallica channel, a member of some band whose name I didn't catch was talking about hearing the Ride the Lightning cd way back when he was in some parochial school, and the reaction of his Jewish classmates to "Creeping Death":
"Hey, they wrote a song for us Jew boys!" I swear, that's exactly what he said. I always thought it was funny how the big hair metal bands of the day were singing about getting drunk and laid and that sort of thing, while bands like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, et al were singing about things like war, plagues and drug abuse. That always struck me as quite a contrast...
